Want To Help Us Grow?

We are a young company, shaped by the ideas and passions in our team and our commitment to exploring seasonality and modern beer.

In the 13 weeks since we started production brewing our weekly wort production has more than doubled to an average of 84hl per week. We are going to double production again before the end of the year, producing between 144hl-192hl of wort per week, but volume increases alone aren’t what will see our small company grow. Our ambition is to achieve ever higher production standards, beyond our current capabilities and limitations, by developing brewery processes, laboratory work, and QC.

We’re currently looking for two people to join our production team.
